It's true, Cell probably could've formed an evil Genki Dama, like Baby's Revenge Death ball, but it still requires that people willingly donate their energy. So it would be useless to anyone but Baby.

I've always thought that those attacks Baby Vegeta were more like the Genkidama than the Desuboru.

BTW, what was/were the attack(s) named in the Japanese version? I couldn't understand what he was saying then. In the dub they're called Revenge Death Ball and Flaming Death Ball.

It might just be my Toriyama-esqu memory acting up, but I seem to remember that they were the real names.

Seriously? Strange.

But anyway, I don't think turning you Super Saiyan would make you any less pure. Why would you need a pure heart in order to attain a form that isn't pure itself? :shock:

That's exactly what I've been trying to figure out. I wonder if that's not literal, since it would be impossible to be pure hearted, AND filled with explosive hatred.

That'd be a killer GD considering how many enemies Goku has and how strong some of them are. Goku'd be in a lot of pain if it connected. :shock:
